Ghana’s Climate Financing Architecture: Using Domestic Resource Mobilisation as a sustainable approach

Ghana intends to mobilise nearly US$ 22.6 billion investment from both domestic and international public and private sources towards the implementation of her Nationally Determined Contributions (Gh-NDCs) commitments.
